Dear Parents and Carers,
Next Sunday, 4 September, we celebrate Father’s Day. It is a day to celebrate fatherhood, and a time for us to honour, celebrate and be thankful for all of the men, father figures and male role models in our lives… including our uncles, grandfathers, Godfathers, and even our male teachers. We recognise the very important role they have in the lives of children.
Through the love and care our fathers show us, we can understand how God is like a loving father to us. God is strength and gentleness, justice and compassion and mercy and kindness. We celebrate the life-giving care we receive through our fathers, and we remember those fathers who are no longer with us.
This Father's Day, we have the opportunity to let the special men in our lives know the unique place they hold and the valuable influence they have on us.

We invite all our fathers, grandfathers and families to be part of a whole school Father’s Day Afternoon Tea and Liturgy on Friday 2 September.

Thank you to our P&F, who will coordinate our Father's Day stall and afternoon tea next week. 

Happy Father’s Day, and I thank you for the fatherly support that you give to the school on a daily basis. Have a wonderful day!
